Chapter 793: Fire-Blazing Wonderful Pearl (Second update, seeking all)

With the energy barrier gone, the full appearance of the stone vat was revealed.

"It really is almost exactly the same as the Yuansha Tianluo Ten Extremes Wonderful True Jar in the Baisheng King Palace."

Looking at the stone vat before him—no, the treasure vat—Li Zhangsheng muttered a complaint once more.

Clearly, Baisheng King had once been to the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm; it was hard to say whether the Yuansha Tianluo Ten Extremes Wonderful True Jar in the Baisheng King Palace was an imitation he made, or if he had moved it directly out of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

Li Zhangsheng couldn't be bothered to overthink it; given that Baisheng King was such a monstrous genius as to create the Book of Bloodlines, it was not strange for him to have entered the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, though one wondered how many times the fellow had gone in.

According to the records of Baisheng King, the man was in his early years a "three-no" Monster Tamer—no resources, no backing, and no famous master—yet he relied on his monstrous intellect to step-by-step create and perfect the Book of Bloodlines, achieving the rank of King at the age of 24, far surpassing Yan Wanling, who had relied on her ancestors of the Profound Emperor rank to achieve the rank of King.

However, there was one thing Li Zhangsheng could not understand: Baisheng King was only two hundred-something years old at the time, and as a Double-Character King, he still had plenty of time to make a breakthrough. Why would he have been so bored as to risk his life dealing with a Demon Lord? Even if he couldn't win, given Baisheng King's strength at the time, he could have escaped by paying a certain price. And yet, he fell.

Baisheng King, recognized as the number one Double-Character King of his time and the one most likely to achieve the rank of Emperor or even the rank of Emperor, was ultimately killed by a Demon Lord.

As for whether there was any trickery involved, that was not something Li Zhangsheng could know; perhaps the Baisheng King Palace held the answer.

Li Zhangsheng felt that Baisheng King had not perished immediately back then, otherwise, he likely would not have arranged for a legacy; after all, given Baisheng King's age, there was absolutely no need for him to seek an "inheritor."

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng reached into the treasure vat and very smoothly took out the items inside.

The treasure vat contained two boxes: a palm-sized jade box and a bucket-sized iron box, neither of which was locked.

Crack!

Li Zhangsheng opened the jade box first, and immediately a spark of fire rushed out from the box. It did not harm Li Zhangsheng, but instead gave the impression of trying to flee.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng hurriedly released his Starlight Power, instantly restraining the spark.

Before he could take further action, the spark automatically transformed into a fire-red bead the size of an infant's fist, hovering before Li Zhangsheng.

This could be considered the second time Li Zhangsheng had seen a treasure capable of freely changing its form; the first time was the Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl.

And this bead formed from the spark, aside from having a different attribute, was quite similar in nature to the Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl; it was possible they were treasures of the same lineage.

Thinking of the Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl, Li Zhangsheng smiled, for the Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl was a top-tier Heavenly Essence Grade item, only slightly inferior to a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure. The key was that it was a treasure that could allow a Demon Pet to enter a state of Bloodline Metamorphosis; in terms of value, it was no worse than an ordinary Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure.

Li Zhangsheng immediately flipped through his reference books and quickly found his target.

Fire-Blazing Wonderful Pearl: Heavenly Essence Grade. If absorbed by a Fire Element Demon Pet, there is a relatively high probability of the Demon Pet entering a state of Bloodline Metamorphosis. The higher the Demon Pet's bloodline concentration, the lower the probability. Note: Non-Fire Element Demon Pets must not absorb it, otherwise they will likely explode and die.

It did not exceed Li Zhangsheng's expectations; the Fire-Blazing Wonderful Pearl truly had an effect similar to the Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl, only it was aimed at Fire Element Demon Pets. Fire Element Demon Pets with less than a Rich Bloodline had about a 40 to 50 percent chance of metamorphosis, less than 10 percent for those with a Rich Bloodline, and it was ineffective for those with a Robust Bloodline.

Unfortunately, this was quite useless to Li Zhangsheng; all of his Demon Pets had a Rich Bloodline, and a metamorphosis probability of less than 10 percent was not particularly low.

Ning Bizhen was the same as Li Zhangsheng; with Li Zhangsheng's help, Ning Bizhen's Demon Pets had all reached the Rich Bloodline level, so the Fire-Blazing Wonderful Pearl was also useless to her.

Rather than gambling on such a slim, illusory probability, it would be better to give it away or use it to trade for useful treasures, as that would maximize the benefits.

After putting away the Fire-Blazing Wonderful Pearl, Li Zhangsheng opened the iron box that was as large as a water bucket.

Inside the box was a piece of ore the size of a washbasin, entirely crimson red, without a single speck of impurity, faintly radiating a scorching heat.

Li Zhangsheng felt this type of ore looked familiar, as he had once obtained a piece before, though that one had only been the size of two adult fists, which was far inferior compared to this one.

"Shoushan Red Copper!"

Li Zhangsheng grabbed the piece of red copper from the iron box; it felt slightly heavy in his hand, likely weighing a thousand catties.

Shoushan Red Copper, also known as Shouyang Mountain Red Copper, was as famous as Refined Gold and Secret Silver. It was rumored that Shouyang Mountain had a red copper vein, and the red copper produced there was different from ordinary red copper; the quality of Shoushan Red Copper was more than one grade better, barely reaching the level of Heavenly Essence Grade.

Such a large piece of Shoushan Red Copper, for a Refining Master like Li Zhangsheng, was no less valuable than an ordinary Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure.

Just the volume of this piece of Shoushan Red Copper was enough to refine several high-quality Top-Grade Treasures, and it could also serve as auxiliary material for some Fire Element Semi-Artifacts or even Divine Artifacts. Furthermore, Shoushan Red Copper contained extremely abundant Fire Element energy and could be used as the core for a Fire Element Forbidden Array.

Just at the first teleportation point, Li Zhangsheng had obtained two treasures of great value, which made him look forward to the subsequent process even more. If he entered the core area of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, he wondered if he could obtain a World Wonder or a Top-tier Spiritual Plant.

The prerequisite for everything was that Li Zhangsheng had to defeat everyone else, because in the end, only one person could enter the core area of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

After putting away his current gains, seeing that it would be more than an hour before the Space Channel opened, Li Zhangsheng released all his Demon Pets, letting them out to get some air and warm up, so they could meet the upcoming trials in their best state.

Roar—

The Bronze Behemoth Adai grabbed Yuangungun with both hands, let out a roar, the veins on his arms bulging, and threw the meatball-like Yuangungun out with force.

As he flew at lightning speed, Yuangungun revealed a pitiful look; he didn't want to be gym equipment either, but the food Li Zhangsheng had prepared for him was simply too much.

A hundred meters away, seeing a giant meatball crashing toward them, the several Demon Beast-level Demon Pets gathered in a group hurriedly evaded at top speed, without using any skills throughout the process.

Aixi, Kailan, Baitan, and Heiye were the fastest, quickly moving out of the attack range, while the Crown Sunlight Luan and the Heavenly Heavy-Pupil Bird hid very cleverly behind the two giant dragons, using the two giant dragons as meat shields.

Seeing that they could not dodge in time, the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon and Xier Yasina roared in unison; they stood side by side, their lower limbs gripping the ground tightly, intending to catch the meatball.
